2 Thermo Scientific Sorvall Evolution RC Superspeed Centrifuge Unmatched productivity through simplified sample handling The most advanced centrifuge technology in the world means nothing unless it accomplishes one simple objective making you more productive. For efficient, high-volume sample processing, the Thermo Scientific Sorvall Evolution RC superspeed centrifuge has no comparison. Designed with your productivity in mind, the Sorvall Evolution RC delivers simplified sample handling, reduced overall spin times and superior ergonomics. The bottom line is more throughput, which is just what you would expect from Thermo Scientific superspeed centrifuge solutions. Fastest processing in the industry Combining speeds of up to 26,000 rpm with exceptionally fast acceleration and deceleration rates, the Sorvall Evolution RC superspeed centrifuge does more than reduce spin times it optimizes your overall productivity. Reliable in every sense of the word Reliability means consistent results, run to run, day to day, and operator to operator. The Sorvall Evolution RC offers proven reliability, incorporating numerous features that eliminate variability in results from outside factors. The Sorvall Evolution RC inherits its reliability from a proven platform the Thermo Scientific Sorvall RC2B superspeed. First introduced in 1972, many Sorvall RC2B superspeeds are still in operation around the world today. 2

The Thermo Scientific RunBrowser provides quick set-up of your frequently-used protocols. Unsurpassed choice of rotors Choose from the industry s largest rotor selection, which includes 20 fixed angle rotors, 4 swingingbucket rotors and a variety of special-purpose rotors. Maximum sample protection The Sorvall Evolution RC achieves high performance levels without dependence on a delicate vacuum system, reducing the cost of ownership since there are no vacuum oil, seals, and filters to maintain. Spills can easily be cleaned without worrying about contaminated vacuum oil or filters. Also, there is better sample protection because without a vacuum, there is less risk of tube and bottle leakage and the ability to control and change temperatures is superior in an air environment. Overall, without the vacuum system, the Sorvall Evolution RC reduces user attention required and minimizes potential downtime. Strong, imbalance-tolerant drive system The Sorvall Evolution RC drive system includes a powerful, brushless motor and our patented Thermo Scientific DuraFlex gyro. This system provides the highest superspeed imbalance tolerance on the market with the convenience of eye balancing plus the assurance that if you make a mistake, your drive is less likely to be damaged. If a rotor is unbalanced, the DuraFlex gyro mechanism flexes in two places to accommodate the misalignment without damage to the drive shaft or motor. 187V Full Performance Range 253V Consistent performance. The built-in Constant Power System (CPS) provides power factor correction to ensure peak instrument performance even under poor power supply conditions. Input voltage can vary from volts without speed or temperature control degradation. Vacuum The Sorvall Evolution RC achieves high performance levels without dependence on a delicate vacuum system. 3

Superior processing saves you time In a busy high-throughput lab, reliability is essential and so is increasing sample throughput.

set parameters, perform the separation, and unload. That s where speed counts most and where the Sorvall Evolution RC delivers best.

4 Superior processing saves you time In a busy high-throughput lab, reliability is essential and so is increasing sample throughput. With the Sorvall Evolution RC, you make significant gains not only through higher rpm s and g-forces but through features that provide shorter total processing: the time it takes to load a sample, set parameters, perform the separation, and unload. That s where speed counts most and where the Sorvall Evolution RC delivers best. Rapid 6-liter processing The Thermo Scientific Fiberlite F8S 6 x 1000y rotor can separate 6-liters of sample at up to 8,500 rpm and 15,810 x g in as little as 9 minutes without using messy and time consuming canisters. Fast acceleration and deceleration The Sorvall Evolution RC provides the fastest acceleration and deceleration of any superspeed available, which translates into shorter run times. Easy sample handling Vacuum-based systems often require additional canisters to support the bottle. Without dependence on a vacuum system, the Sorvall Evolution RC eliminates the need for canisters you can simply slide sample bottles into the rotor and start your run. This not only reduces handling steps but minimizes the number of components that could be misplaced or damaged. High speed, high RCF With speeds of up to 26,000 rpm and RCFs up to 70,450 x g, the Sorvall Evolution RC gives you all the speed and g-force needed to handle the vast majority of current and emerging superspeed applications. The user-friendly control panel makes the unit s advanced functionality easy to use. The RunBrowser program provides quick set-up of your frequently-used protocols. 4

From its large, easy-to-read control panel to the ergonomic door handle, the Sorvall Evolution RC systematically reduces effort. Simple operator interface The large digital display continuously shows both the set and run conditions for time, temperature and speed, making them easy to monitor even from a distance. Hands-free access Simply nudge the chamber door with the rotor and it automatically slides open. An integrated rotor lid holder provides convenient lid storage. Compact, ergonomic design The deck is only 33 inches from the ground the lowest profile on the market which makes the rotor chamber and control panel easily accessible. Safety and mobility Unlike other superspeed centrifuges, the Sorvall Evolution RC meets CE, UL and CSA safety requirements without the need to bolt the unit to the floor.
